I understand that it is not a goal for Hurd to be secure in the sense that Coyotos tries to be, but if you achieve your goal above you will manage to be *insecure* in the way that Windows is. We do not need another Windows in the world.
The Hurd is by design more secure than GNU/Linux. The extra plugability partially gives this extra security. As long as the user can't screw up something for another user, then plugability should be added. So: plugability is good, and necessary, but there are places where it is a very bad idea, and the proc server is a good example of where it is bad. I strongly disagree, me running my own proc server will not affect anyone, unless they say that they trust my proc server. And I cannot tell the other user to trust it. The same goes for any other server in the Hurd, the only servers that are trusted by default are the ones run by uid 0 (you have to trust something, otherwise you won't be able to do anything). _______________________________________________ L4-hurd mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/l4-hurd
